Thorns Become Roses: Nishane’s New Rose for All
Nishane launches Thorns Become Roses in 2026, a unisex fragrance by perfumer Julien Rasquinet. The name suggests a bloom that has to push through prickles: a rose that earns its beauty.
With warm spices, fruity top notes, and a lush floral heart, Nishane crafts a complex, powdery rose with a woody finish.
The opening is bright and juicy: saffron, lychee, raspberry, and cardamom. Saffron lends a golden, almost leathery spice while raspberry and lychee give a succulent sweetness. Cardamom adds an aromatic kick that keeps things balanced.
Turkish rose anchors the heart, supported by mimosa and violet leaves. Mimosa brings a velvety, powdery texture, and violet leaves add a fresh, slightly green sharpness. The result is an opulent floral bouquet with a nostalgic, cosmetic feel.
The base rests on patchouli, sandalwood, and Amberwood. Patchouli grounds the composition with earthy depth; sandalwood provides creamy smoothness; Amberwood contributes a warm, modern amber glow. Together they make the drydown rich and smooth.
Key accords include warm spicy, woody, rose, patchouli, powdery, fruity, floral, ozonic, and aquatic. This broad palette gives the perfume a multifaceted character that shifts on skin and reveals different layers over time.
With an average rating of 3.64 out of 5 based on 80 votes, Thorns Become Roses sits as a niche offering for patient noses. It doesn’t aim for instant mass appeal, instead rewarding those who take time to decode its nuances.
Best for men and women who appreciate roses outside the classic soliflore mold — lovers of spicy woods, patchouli, and powdery florals will find plenty to explore.
Thorns Become Roses is a rose with backbone: soft petals, sharp edges, and a woody warmth that lingers. Nishane has created a confident, contemplative fragrance worth revisiting.

When I opened the perfume, as soon as I took off the cap, you could smell the majestic, very realistic scent of roses 🌹. It’s a beautiful perfume, another masterpiece from Nishane; it’s a perfume in which every ingredient plays its part and develops faithfully in stages, leaving at the end an exquisite patchouli together with sandalwood and a faint trace of Turkish rose. It’s an extraordinary piece.
